Sockafellas

First of all apologies for the last of posts!!
I am sort of holiday from my online shops at the moment, but working away making Sockafellas as I have a couple of larger events coming up.
Here are some the creations that I have done recently,

Fred

Starstruck

Percy

ToM cat

If you follow me on facebook I am popping them on there as I make them.
I am also getting some special orders and have loads of photos to give people ideas.
Hoping to get back into blogging etc soon!!

A couple of Sock Friends

I made a couple of sock friends today. The first one was a sock monster called "Freddie" who loves to party with his mates (see below)
This sock friend was made especially for my DD as she came home with this pair of socks and asked for a friend. She has named her Monkey "Cosy" as it is extra snuggly!

They decided to hang out and watch the world go by before my old shelf gets sold on Ebay!!!

Hoping to add a few more to my shop soon!!

Monkey Bags and new Monkey!!

Keeping on my monkey theme, I decided I needed a few more things to add to the "range", which is still nameless as I really am hopeless at making up my mind!!

Here we have a couple of Monkey faces that are hand sewn beads!!

And Here we have a friend for the Lanky pink streak Monkey!

I have still to add a few finishing touches to this one!
Just so you know, I am at the Craft Art and Food Fair at Floral Pavillion in New Brighton on 3/10/09 and 7/11/09 and will be organising a Christmas Craft event myself on 5/12/09 and 6/12/09 at Birkenhead Park pavillion gallery!!

I have a few more ideas of things I may create with this theme, but do let me know if you think there is something that may work, or just to say what you think of these so far!!

Monkey Business - Giveaway

I am after some help as I am about to set up an online shop for my Sock Monkey Business and have been rattling round a few ideas for names. It is difficult to try and get original names that are not already in use in one form or another!
I have decided to run a giveaway for whoever comes up with the best name and the one that I will actually use!!

The Giveaway will include a selection of prizes, that includes Jewellery and other goodies!
The name I am after needs to incorporate other sock creatures as I will be having a go at some other styles!!
If I use another name I will put entries into a hat to decide a winner for the giveaway!!
Entries need to be in by Sunday 16th August and I will annouce the Winner on Monday 17th!!

This is my latest creation!! She is a Lanky Pink Streak Monkey and is very rare in the UK!!

Sock Monkey Mania

I have not been about much lately as I have been too busy with various events and making Eyefund Jewellery and these Sock Monkeys.

I did a couple of fairs and found that they were extremely popular and I am now trying to make as many as possible for the Wirral Show in july as i have a spot in the craft tent, but due to there being enough jewellery stands, I had to have something different!

Fingers crossed they will be a hit as some of the money from them will be going to Claire House Children's Hospice.

And the winner is.....

It's Sunday and it's time to see who won my name the sock monkey givaway!!

All the names were written out and as I did not have a hat, I put them in a sock!!

Then I asked my DD to pull out a name and the winner is.........................

SALLY the sock monkey and eljay - aka Laura aka Fluffy Squirrel

Well done!!! Please send me your details so I can send you your mystery prize!!!

Thanks to all who entered!!
I am sure my next post will be about sock monkey's too as they have now multiplied as I found out how to use my sewing machine......will leave that story for next time!!

Name My Monkey - Blog Giveaway

A While ago I bought my daughter a sock monkey from Lilyola, when Crafter..oo did the Comic relief shop on Folksy. My Daughter asked me to make a friend for Samantha and I finally got round to it today!!

Here she is............

Thing is I cannot decide a name and neither can my daughter, so I thought I will run a giveaway.......not for the monkey but for a surprise gift.

Please leave a comment and a name suggestion for the Non striped Monkey to Enter for a chance to win!!

Samantha the sock monkey and ?????????

I will put all names into a hat on Sunday 17th May and announce the winner!
